what i wanna hear ( william )

Mia was ready for anything today. Except one thing. Cheerleading. She had been so ready to get the day going then she remembered that she had a game to cheer for that night. She loved cheerleading, she really did. She just hated performing in front of others. Mostly because she knew she was getting a reputation for being bisexual and she hated being judged for it. Personally, she thought more people should be willing to be bisexual and try out being with both sexes because then that way, it was harder to feel bad when someone rejected them. Mia laughed to herself as she walked into the gym, geared up for exercise and her own little practice session.

She walked in with her normal spunk and bounce and made her way over to the cheerleading mats. She took down one of them from leaning against the wall and dragged to an open area of the gym floor. After laying it out, Mia immediately jumped onto it like a five year old. She giggled as she first started to sit down and stretch. She had forgotten her iPod in her locker. She shrugged as she spread out her legs to a V-shape and began leaning to one side. Her voice then started to belt out,Walking on Sunshine, into the empty gym.

You're a good person. Will had been drilling this into his mind with each step he took since he left his house. Sometimes when his parents were both doing overnight work, they would have Will and Blythe watch Brynn at their house, and Will and Brynn didn't get along very well when they were forced to be around one another. Brynn was a typical high school 'popular' girl, or at least, she thought she was. Will was convinced she was still his little sister that sat on his lap and watched Disney movies with him while they ate dinner. Either way, long story short, Will valued his relationship with his sister, which Brynn clearly did not. This ended up in a fight, which ended up with Will leaving his own house. He had let a fourteen year old kick him out of his own damn house. You're still a good person, he tried again, letting the words fall on separate steps. It wasn't working, Will didn't feel like a good person.

He was headed toward the school. Why, he wasn't sure. There was some sort of athletic event -that Will would undoubtedly not be attending- later, this much he could tell, but there was nobody that would be in the gym just yet. Will wasn't athletic by any means, heck, he didn't even enjoy watching sports on TV. No, he didn't like sports but he did like to run. Will had picked up the habit of running off his emotions when he learned that Blythe was pregnant. The second she had told him, he did the first thing (and the most stupid thing) that popped into his head. He ran. And he didn't stop running until he had circled around the entire town. Since then, Will had just learned to deal with anything that came his way by just running it off, and when he finished running, the problem would be solved. It was always solved when he finished running. Sometimes in doing this, Will felt like some kind of Forrest Gump character in the never-ending movie that was his life, and that made him laugh.

Will approached the school, walking around to the Gymnasium entrance. He found it just the slightest bit ironic that he had just walked all that distance just to run some more, but for some reason, Will liked to run on the smooth ground of the Gym rather than the uneven ground of the outdoors. He liked doing laps, and there was nowhere that he could do laps that was closer than the school gym. He timidly walked up to the door, hoping he was the only one who had the desire to use the gym right now. You could never be sure sometimes. There was one unfortunate time when Will had tried to use the gym, thinking it was empty, and walked in on a poor girl practicing for a solo. In the gym. Of all places. Because she too, had no other place to go and be alone. To this day that girl looks away if Will walks by in the halls.

He gripped the cold, metal handle and pulled toward himself. As soon as Will entered the gym, he was bombarded by sound. Oh dear god, not again, he thought to himself. He couldn't walk out now, whoever was singing had already heard him come in. Will took a few steps forward and let out a sigh of relief. "Thank god," he said aloud, looking around in surprise at the echo his voice made in the empty gym. The singing was coming from one of his good friends, Mia, and he wasn't the slightest bit surprised. Will forced a smile on his face, realizing he probably still looked like he was ready to kill. "What are you doing here?" He asked. Will had been hoping to run alone, but maybe a friend would just do the trick.
